Valentine’s Day falls on February 14th each and every year. It is the day that is set aside annually for telling those that you love that you love them.

It’s not a bad idea when you think about it. We get busy. Life gets in the way of showing our love. We get so busy and so involved in all of the various aspects of life that it is easy to forget to tell the special people in our lives… just how special they really are to us.

There are many ways to say “I love you”.

1. A romantic dinner for two, and don’t forget the Champaign and beautiful romantic music playing in the background…..
2. a magical vacation to an exotic location……
3. sending red roses, chocolate and a romantic card….
4. giving a gift of heart shaped jewelry….
5. all of these are special ways to tell your special love just how loved they are.

I think one of the secrets of successfully showing your feelings of true love on Valentine’s Day or any other day is in knowing the other person well enough to know what to choose.

Showing up on the doorstep of your lady love with a bottle of wine or Champaign only to discover that she doesn’t drink…AT ALL…is a long way from conveying romantic feelings.

Giving a gift of large dangling earrings when she would never wear anything but studs isn’t romantic either. Pay attention… look in the jewelry box… ask her best friend. Make an effort to find a romantic token of your love… goes a long, long way in the “he is so romantic book”.

Sending her a large (no matter how expensive) box of chocolates when she is allergic to chocolate or on a diet… isn’t going to let her know that you love her. It will only serve to tell her that you don’t know anything about her and don’t care enough to find out.

Don’t buy anything with an electric cord. I don’t care how much she tells you she wants it… almost anything with a cord, is not going to be romantic. Period.

Flowers always speak the language of love. But… don’t assume it has to be red roses. Red roses might be the most popular Valentines Day Gift… but they are not always a favorite of every woman. If you want to impress your gal… find out what her favorite flower is.

Remember that Valentine’s Day is a day for expressing love and that means caring enough to know the other person well enough to choose a gift or an occasion that will truly make them feel loved.
